At the end of the course the student shoul be able to:1.outline the basic (fundamental) knowledge in the general field of interfacial engineering (see course description)2.recognize, interpret and describe interfacial phenomena and their role in determining the properties of various chemical products and process3. define and calculate or estimate parameters relevant for interfacial engineering4.use the acquired knowledge for the solution of numerical problems in the field of interfacial engineering5.interpret numerical results in the context of process/product engineering

Omschrijving

In this course you learn to use those parts of colloid chemistry and physics that are important for the design and development of structured products, such as emulsions, gels, adhesives, coatings and composites.

The final (open book) written exam typically consists of 4-5 open questions. To pass the course the students has to score at least 5.5 points in the written exam.Attendance to the first lecture is mandatory, unless a valid justification is provided in advance and approved by the lecturer. In case of unjustified absence, the student can still request an appointment with the lecturer to provide a valid explanation. The consequence of not attending and not providing a valid justification is the exclusion from the course for the running academic year
